Feminists for Life of America

Serrin M. Foster has led Feminists for Life of America since
1994. Under her leadership, FFL successfully advocated benefits for poor and
pregnant women through the State Child Health Insurance Program, worked in
coalition with other women’s organizations to defeat the mandatory "family
cap" and other punitive child exclusion provisions in welfare reform, and
helped to prevent poverty and coerced abortions due to threats to withhold
child support through passage of the Enhanced Child Support Act. Serrin served
on the National Taskforce Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence, which
worked to pass the Violence Against
Women Act. The creator of the Women
Deserve Better® campaign, Serrin has been an outspoken opponent of pregnancy
discrimination and focused on developing on-campus resources and support for
underserved pregnant and parenting students. Her landmark speech, "The
Feminist Case Against Abortion," has been recognized as one of the great
speeches in history in an anthology on Women’s Rights.
